but it is in conflict with the well-established standard way of how libraries are distributed in Debian. This is incorrect. Header-only libraries are present in the Debian archive, such as libboost-dev or libeigen3-dev. A -dev package does not automatically have an accompanying shlib package.

Package: libgtest-dev Version: 1.7.0-4 There exists no corresponding library binary package libgtest1. This is in accordance with a recommendation of the upstream authors, https://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_it_not_recommended_to_install_a_pre-compiled_copy_of_Goog, but it is
